Calculating Steam (Water) Pick-Up
Calculating Steam (Water) Pick-Up
(OP)
Needed to calculate the water pick-up in slurry that is
heated using direct steam injection (so I can reduce the
amount of water in the slurry appropriately to accomodate
the additional water being injected in the steam).
Steam (SAT) = 120psi
batch.
T1=140F slurry
TF=190F slurry
470LBS product (assume WATER for calculations because of
high water content
Can somebody help me out and double check my calculation
of 50LBS pickup.

can you show your calculations?
RE: Calculating Steam (Water) Pick-Up
Enthalpy, Btu/lb
Original water, W, at 140 F: 108
Saturated picked up steam, S, at 120 psia: 1191
Final mix, W+S = 470 lb, at 190 F: 158
Thus S = 22 lb.

i messed up with one of my figures from the steam table.
thanks 25362.
i had a feeling something was off.
